i am in the process of pulling the twin h out of a 55 has i got just for the engine. the floor is pretty rusted thru! outside is all pretty good. glass is mostly good. some surface rust on fenders. i would sell it for the scrap price to a member. if no takers i will part out if anyone is interested in any parts. also trade for other hudson parts or collectables. just tell me anything i should save.

    Paulargetype- The dash in a 55 would be the same as a 54? That's surprising- since they're totally different cars. Any other major body stuff that got carried over?
  • I think he meant the instrument cluster -- same/same

    YES THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND IT'S STILL 6 VOLT

    If the car has the "L" shape brackets that pivot out from the lower part of the back seat cushion, I would like to buy them. These brackets (1 on each side) support the front seat back when the seat back is laid all the way back (to make into a bed). If anyone has these, I would be interested!

    paullargetype- it doesn't have power steering.
    i will check on the seat brackets.
    if i don't sell it i will def part it out. i should prob get the dash gauges out to use in my essex project. i was kicking around the idea of using front end and rear end to make a small pull behind trailer, that is if i don't sell the whole thing.

    the cluster as a whole would be the same as wasp sw and hornet special. i think all the gages are the same as hornet and the temp/fuel even jet.

    i thought i would post a few pictures of the underside. the more i look at it the more i think it is just good for the parts. thank you all for information and suggestions.

    Please note, the instrument cluster from a Hornet is different than those for the Wasp, Super Wasp & Hornet Special. The numbers on the Hornet cluster are mounted to the back drop on the speedo, while the numbers on the rest are painted on the under side of the glass

    54jetman- Thanks for the clarification on instrument cluster differences. I didn't know that.
